original Backup subfolder are also in the copy of the Backup subfolder.

select your existing username.
7. Reinstall third-party applications from the copy of your Backup subfolder. (See
“Installing applications” on page 128 for instructions.) We recommend that you
install one application at a time to help you identify the application that caused the
problem. We also recommend that you DO NOT install any applications that fall
into any of the following categories:
• Modify phone functions, such as ring tones, dialing, or caller ID
• Replace organizer applications, such as Contacts or Calender
• Set data connection features, such as activating or ending data connections
• Web Clipping applications or files, such as PQA files
• Instant Messaging applications
If you want to continue using these types of applications, please contact the third-
party developer for software updates and info about compatibility with your Treo 650
smartphone.
